A new life in France, 10 year farm renovation project. Away in a manger… March 2015. April 1, 2015. So much work and so little time! Progress is good though and things are looking beautiful (through the rain). The ugly wall to the rear of Ma Chaleur (and side of our barn) needs a makeover for sure, this was taken before the roof was finished but you get the idea. Cladding to the rescue. Finished and a lick of paint (sadolin superdec). These corner posts need shaping to take the boards in a recess. You ar...

A new life in France, 10 year farm renovation project. Landsacaping…. March 2015. March 31, 2015. New telephone line going in for our barn so we’re on a separate broadband line. All filled back in which JCB then compacted, it was there anyway helping me spread 22 tons of gravel for the drive, 300m of it! This lead me to the landscaping at front of Chaleur. Mark out and weed kill / napalm areas to be covered and leave for a few days to soak in. Then weed matt and start covering. March 30, 2015. This will ...

A new life in France, 10 year farm renovation project. July 6, 2015. Well we made it! But only just and it was all such a blur, 6 week stretch & each being a 70 hour week, before which I was informed by the doc that I was suffering Chronic fatigue and that I needed to back off😦 if only! I didn’t get many photos i’m afraid of the glass units I put in above the doors, the joint and taping of plasterboards, painting and decorating, tiling bathroom floor or under floor heating. Insulation and damp proof.

A new life in France, 10 year farm renovation project. Feeling exposed Jan 2014. December 31, 2014. December 27, 2014. Got some walls to expose & first up was the TV corner, to the right of doorway will be a stud wall built coming out at an angle but allowing the dressed stone of the doorway to be exposed. Next was a wall within the shower, a false ceiling will bring the height down to meet top of doorway. And the other side where the bath will sit. Front wall of bedroom exposed, some lovely big stones to.

A new life in France, 10 year farm renovation project. April 14, 2015. Well she is but the garage isn’t…. More cladding, more render and a side order of paint (was hungry when writing this :). Can’t expose this wall as its been repaired at some point with air bricks so this we’ll clad and shape to meet the stone where it protrudes. Batten and boards with one eager dog to go for a walk despite having the freedom of 20 acres to run around in at will! Looks nice cut into the stone. Canopée… April 2015.
